Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR)

In May 2013, Olympic Medical Center and its Port Angeles and Sequim facilities transitioned to a single database, enterprise-wide electronic health record (EHR) system known as Epic, the most highly rated EHR available today. Epic replaced several previous systems as part of OMC’s implementation project with Providence Health & Services Community Connect. OMC is an affiliate of Seattle-based Swedish Health Services, which joined forces with Providence in February of 2012.

Epic enables OMC to deliver comprehensive and coordinated care for patients across all care settings by making patient health information available to providers in real time, giving them instant access to a patient’s medical history. Patients can view their health record through an online patient portal known as MyChart, giving them greater participation in their care. Epic enables us to:
